The Arizona champion., 1887-02-12

PRESCOTT, Feb. 10, 1887. Tlle ,olons at the capital are yet in solemn copciave. Several of the mem bers have been, as they say, a little under the weather, but are now rapid ly improving. If any fellow can tell what will be done this session, he cer- tainly should be aw srded medal as the boss guesser of Arizona. The mem- bers of the r4th legislative assembly of Arizona, in my humble opinion, will compare with any that has here tofore convened in the sun kissed land. While it can truthfully, I be- lieye, be said that in both branches there arc but few orators, yet for good hard common sense, I think its members have had no peers among their predecessors.
 Considerable side talk has been made by one of the papers published at the city about some of the demo- crats standing in with the republicans against the present administration CD So far as can be observed the "stand- ; ing in part" is all moonshine; there are gentlemen in the I4th whose poll. tics are democratic, bat they are bona fide residents of Arizona and object to being bull dozed by importations. They arc only asking in simple jus tice what their constituents demand nothing more, irrespective of politics,
 Readers of the CHAMPION have seen by previous letters the gallant fight that is being made for the new county of Frisco, and the ridicule and deri- sion which is being tried to be heaped upon the residents of the proposed new couhty. The people of north east Arizona are surely under obllga- tons and in their generous natures will reciprocate whenever opportunity offers for the assistance which has so far been furnished by Senators Breed, Drake, Robertson, Goodrich, Wat kins and Burdick of the council and Representatives Scott, of Apache; Scott, of Pima; Adamson, Collins, Doran, Felton, Gray, Leatherweod, Ming, Mckay, Trippel, Wores, Smith, Webb and las,, but not least, our able henchman, w. H. Ashurst. Some seem to think that the "sack" will have to be used in order to de- feat the passage of the new county bill, but those who have ssid they will help us arc not "sack men" by a long way.
 The Mikado at the Capital has been trying to use his official whip, but so far with no success, as there are men in this legislature wh, do no [ propose to let party issues interfere with the just rights of their constltu ents.
 NOTES. }
 Mart Maloney, of the Tucson Star, is on deck.
 H. J. Brawley, who formerly owned the Tombstone Democrat, and one of the brightest journalists on the Pacific coast, is doing the capital.
 H. B. Penney, manager of tn. Tue . son Citizen, is keeping watchful eye on the interests of Pima county!
 Hon. Wm. H. Ashurst, of Flagstaff, has but little to say, but it always seems to count.
 A. J. Doran, wao was member of the rIth legislature, is one of the har. dest and most conscientious members of the house:
 Patsy Collins, of Mohave, is looking as well as usual and don't seem to be at all prouder, although he is a mem- Der of the I4th.
 Some say that wine dinners will win, but others doubt it.
 James Scott, of Apache, has intro duced bill against the carrying of arms, etc., which is one of the best of the session.
 It is said that the immigration of. flee will go where the wood bine wineth.
 The tomale feast was 2 success, ow- ing to the absence of the Mikado. The first that has yet been scored by the capital.
 Next week something more.
